Premise
Nobita is practicing playing the recorder, which he is quite terrible at, in preparation for his school's concert. A mysterious girl, Mikka, appears in front of him, and she likes the relaxing and carefree sound of Nobita and invites Doraemon and the others to the "hall of music" created on a planet where music becomes energy. In order to save this hall of music, Mikka was looking for a music master to perform with him. Doraemon and his friends use the Musician's License to select musical instruments and play them with Mikka, gradually restoring the Hall of Music. However, a creepy lifeform that erases music from the world approaches, and the Earth is in danger! Will it be possible to save the "future of music" and the earth?

Production
Development
Kazuaki Imai, who directed Doraemon: Nobita's Treasure Island (2018) and Doraemon: Nobita's New Dinosaur (2020), returned to direct the film. Teruko Utsumi took on the responsibility of writing the screenplay. He has written screenplays for many episodes of Doraemon.
Scenario setting
Kazuaki Imai stated that he got the idea for the story of the film during the lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic. He said, "When I finished directing my previous work "New Dinosaur," the world had changed in an unexpected way due to the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus. Children were more stressed when the human nature of direct contact and interaction was restricted. One day, I felt emotional when I saw my son, who was stuck at home, singing loudly while watching TV. It was a programme that connected each performer remotely and performed one song while the concert could not be held. At the same time as I was struck by the power of music, the image of children going on a big adventure in the world of music with Doraemon began to swell in my head."[5][6]
